Probiotics - Recommendations for a good brand

OMI100 · Aug 6, 2016

I am thinking of adding in some probiotics into my diet as I am sure my diet may not be the most conducive to having great gut bacteria.
Any recommendations and thoughts...

Bio-K+ refrigerated , 50 billion cnt, multiple species

Green Valley Kefir organic lactose-free. Check dairies in your area

sauerkraut non-pasturized

Kombucha

You can ferment at home and benefit from some species if you get a culture.

Get familar with each species and what they do for you personally. Some will do nothing for you at all. You will know what works after a week of use. Most bacillus do not survive passage through the stomach. Acidophilus, a lactobacillus, is the most common but of limited benefit on its own.

L.fermentum - tpicall found in kimchee, superoxide dismutase

L. plantarum

L. rhamnosus

L. salivarius

B. bifidum

L. paracasei - liver function

L. reuteri - oral and digestive health

If ever on anti-biotics or in the hospital you need powerful probiotics to prevent c.difficile . Bio-k+ is a good choice.

If caps have not been refrigerated since production they are not nearly as effective as fresh culture but ma still be beneficial.
